It might not be very clear about some things.

Happy provider

Ease of use and you can easily correct mistakes

The food can be more described can be better so you can easily describe meals your having

Data entry

Avantages :

the ease of templates: no additional writing necessary

Inconvénients :

When I review my entries I have to save again, even though there are no changes

KidKare is AMAZING!!!

Avantages :

KidKare is a wonderful tool for educational management. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Inconvénients :

I honestly cannot think of a con at this time.

Great way to save paper!

Commentaires : Not having a ton of paper claims to keep and store has been extremely helpful. I log in everyday to enter my meals and it's a lot faster as I can type faster then I can write!

Avantages :

I like that it's so easy to use and go back to check your work. I'd been doing paper claims for 18 yrs and finally went to KidKare last year and wondered why I waited so long

Inconvénients :

I haven't come across anything yet that has frustrated me about this software.

I have been using KidKare as MMK then KK. It helps up keep track of everything pretty well.

Avantages :

Web based! Love that I can access it from my phone or tablet. I like that my teachers can login and complete attendance.

Inconvénients :

I hate the look of the invoices. The web address at the bottom confuses my clients, they try to login to it. I also don't like the look of the new invoices, they are small and crammed up into the top 2/3 of the page. I miss having a report to print for birthdays, emergency contacts, etc. I would also like to see a printable weekly attendance schedule. We fill in the hours the child is in care in their general info, the software should be able to print out a daily or weekly roster with those hours filled in. It helps to plan coverage since we are a ratio driven program.

KidKare

Commentaires : It is way better than the paper menus. I have had some items not save in the menu. When I have tried to contact help/customer service, the response is absolutely terrible or nonexistent. But overall, I am satisfied with its function.

Avantages :

fairly user friendly, the software has improved continually.

Inconvénients :

the save reminder button is annoying. It appears when you have not entered anything. And sometimes (rarely)it does not save what you entered. The whole grain tab is not good. It should just be included in the drop down food.

KidKare Is Worth It

Commentaires : My overall experience is good, I have been using kidkare for @ years now and it makes logging food and printing reports so much easier. It is easier to renew children or add new children.

Avantages :

I like the fact that I can log my whole day from my phone. It is nice if you forget to log during the day, you have the ability to log at any time.

Inconvénients :

every once in a while it takes a long time to long on or boots you off for no apparent reason.

KidKare Review

Avantages :

I like that the program is always available. Sometimes I'm so busy and I cant get to the computer right away, so I jot things down and log in later. The program is pretty easy to navigate and self explanatory.

Inconvénients :

I can't think of anything that I dislike about the software. I don't like how the rules and laws keep changing, but it has nothing to do with KidKare.

How KIdKare has helped me as a Provider

Commentaires : I use the software to help with the attendance of my children ,and also to keep up with my daily count of meals and attendance of each child that is enrolled at the center. This software offers so much to providers to help with meal count, attendance sheets, and so much more, it helps me to get a lot more accomplished that I could usually do, if I had to complete everything manually. KidKare has been a great experience for me and I wouldn't consider any other software for completing my meal count.

Avantages :

This is the best software that I've used since I have been a childcare provider, what I like most about this software, is the fact that it saves me a lot of time and paperwork.

Inconvénients :

There was nothing that I didn't like about using this software.

KidKare has a great interface and worked great overall!

Commentaires : I would highly recommend KidKare to anyone needing to meal plan for students.

Avantages :

As a user, the interface is so simple and makes each section readily available for use. I really enjoy the colors in the software as well.

Inconvénients :

Reviewing information can be confusing at times due to the fact that some of that information isn't updated.

KidKare

Commentaires : We have used other programs and this is by far the easiest to use, and accurate. With the ability to run reports we can see any issues or concerns long before they become an issue. We also love the fact that we can track and run reports of our choosing anytime. It is also super simple to use and keep up on all our daily tasks!

Avantages :

It is easy to use. Overall the easiest system we have used, We don't use all the options at this time. I think for the attendance, reports, food tracking are all amazing. Very minor issues if any!

Inconvénients :

You can't always see the drop down boxes options. To have a scroll option would be great and sometimes the words used don't match what I am putting in.

Works great for me!

Avantages :

It's easy to use. I love that I can use it on my cell phone, not just on my computer. I especially like that if I forget to check in a child in but try to enter them in for a meal, the system allows you to sign them in without returning to the check in/out page. I also like that you can copy a menu which saves a lot of time.

Inconvénients :

Sometimes I have trouble getting into the system and may have to wait until later in the day to get in.

Appreciate

Commentaires : The functions I use are helpful and time saving. I also appreciate the monthly option to pay.
Thank You

Avantages :

I appreciate being able to use the app function in my phone. It’s amazingly convenient.
